CHF is a North Carolina grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public about health care issues. Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of our North Carolina community by empowering individuals and families to make freer and more fully informed health care decisions.

The Health Freedom Act—HB 1303

This bill if passed will legalize and protect alternative natural healthcare. The responsibility and choice of healthcare will be placed back in the hands of each individual seeking the best healthcare available to them.

To summarize the bill, practitioners of natural health modalities ranging from naturopathy to bodywork, would be able to practice freely and legally as long as they follow these guidelines.

“ . . . Prior to providing such services, disclose to the client in a plainly worded written statement all of the following information:
(1) The practitioner's name, business address, and telephone number.
(2) That he or she is not a physician, surgeon, or medical doctor, or other licensed health care professional, and that he or she is not licensed, certified, or registered, by the state of North Carolina.
(3) The nature of the health care services to be provided.
(4) The degrees, training, experience, credentials, or other qualifications of the practitioner regarding the health care services being provided.”

This is the main Fundraising Group. The group is divided into 100 counties - each with a representative and local volunteers.
